California-based Hurricane Electric (News - Alert), a provider of IP transit solutions, recently linked its IPv4 and IPv6 networks with Minnesota-based Neutral Path’s Upper Midwest clients by deploying a new Point-of-Presence (PoP) at Neutral Path.
Reid Fishler, Hurricane Electric’s director of carrier services, stated, “We are excited to reach customers in Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin and elsewhere in the Midwest via our partnership with Neutral Path Communications and our Rochester PoP. Access to Neutral Path’s diverse communication routes through Minneapolis and Kansas City will allow us to provide improved fault tolerance, load balancing and congestion management in our IP connectivity services.”
Hurricane Electric’s global Internet backbone provides IP transit with low latency, access to thousands of networks and dual-stack native IPv6 and IPv4. The company supports IPv6 and IPv4 over the same connection at no additional charge. It is easy to add IPv6 support to one’s customers as soon as they get an IP Transit connection from the company. Hurricane Electric asserted that its IP Transit service is available in colocation facilities such as Equinix (News - Alert), Cologix, Telehouse, Interxion and more.
Neutral Path is a wholesale broadband transport company offering dark fiber, cross-connect carrier-hotel and other services to providers of broadband services.
Neutral Path acknowledged that Hurricane Electric’s connectivity services and solutions are the best in the industry. By partnering with Hurricane Electric, Neutral Path hopes to improve the connectivity options it provides to customers.
In related news, Hurricane Electric set up PoP at Cologix Datacenter and MIX and Interxion (News - Alert) customers were enabled access to reach Hurricane Electric’s rich global network.
